Erodex (UK) Ltd: The leading EDM and graphite solutions partner at Southern Manufacturing

Since the company’s inception in 1973, Erodex (UK) Ltd has set the standard in EDM consumables and graphite solutions. From humble beginnings supplying the finest EDM materials, the company quickly became a market leader thanks to its Duragraph and POCO graphite products. Over the decades, Erodex has expanded into metallurgical, semiconductor, mechanical, electrical and vacuum furnace applications, always underpinned by a commitment to quality, innovation and customer service. With acquisitions such as ECP and BWP, Erodex continues to offer class-leading solutions across the EDM industry.

Showcasing EDM consumables

The company stocks a comprehensive range including fast hole drilling copper and brass tubes, WEDM wear parts, deionising resin, anti-rust products, and various filters, ensuring that customers can maintain peak machine performance.

Erodex also offers a full spectrum of continuous EDM wire, from the clean, paraffin-free Q-Cut range to Gapstar and Topas Plus wires, designed for speed and precision. Through partnerships with Berkenhoff GmbH (bedra wire), Erodex provides optimal wire solutions tailored for every machine and application.

The company’s WEDM wear parts and accessories include precision wire guides, rollers and belts, helping users reduce downtime and improve throughput, some of which will be on display at Southern Manufacturing.

Graphite electrodes: Supply and machining expertise

A true highlight at Southern Manufacturing will be Erodex’s graphite expertise. The company not only supplies an extensive range of graphite electrodes, but also offers a world-class machining service from arguably Europe’s most advanced graphite-dedicated machine shop. This capability allows Erodex to turn around complex electrode projects that other suppliers might decline, providing solutions to bottlenecks and production challenges. With demonstration pieces on display, visitors will be able to see first-hand the type of intricate electrodes that Erodex can manufacture, or work alongside existing or new customers to create the optimal solution. One particular highlight on the stand will be Erodex-supplied POCO EDM1 and POCO EDM3 industry-standard grade of graphite for aerospace and fine detail applications, in which Erodex is – and has always been – the sole UK distributor.

Erodex’s approach to electrodes is customer-focused: design starts with the electrode, not the holder, ensuring maximum efficiency and performance. With 52 years of EDM experience, and a highly skilled design team, Erodex consistently delivers electrodes and components that meet the most demanding specifications, from aerospace OEMs and precision tooling to semiconductor applications.
